The Respondent,
Ann Bridgeforth Tribbey, appeared pro se.
Barbara Ann Williams appeared as counsel for the Virginia State Bar.

The Respondent
was required to appear and show cause why the district committee should not
issue a Public Reprimand for the Respondent's
alleged failure to comply with a term previously imposed in connection with
a Private Reprimand with Terms. On May 26, 2002, the district committee issued
the Private Reprimand with Terms pursuant to an agreed disposition in VSB
Docket Nos. 99-031-2269, 00-031-0017 and 00-031-1180. In those matters, the
Respondent admitted she had violated DR 9-102(A)(1) and (2), as well as 9-102(B)(4).
These trust account rules relate to preserving and disbursing client and other
funds held in escrow.

One of
the terms imposed in connection with the Private Reprimand required the Respondent
to Ahire and pay the cost of a
Certified Public Accountant to review [her] financial records for the past
year (June 2001 - July 2002) to determine whether or not [she was] maintaining
[her] financial records in compliance with the Rules of Professional Conduct
relating to trust accounts. The term also required the Respondent to furnish
the certified public accountant a copy of the Rules of Professional and Conduct
to trust accounts and further provided: AUpon
completion, a report should be generated and forwarded to Assistant Bar
Counsel Charlotte P. Hodges on or before March 25, 2003" (emphasis in the original).

Based
upon the evidence the Respondent and the bar presented at the show cause hearing,
including the testimony of Frank C. Deal, a certified public accountant and
partner in the accounting firm of Burgess & Co., the district committee
found that the Respondent failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence
that she had complied in a timely fashion with the term requiring an audit
of her trust account records and generation of a report documenting the audit
findings.

Wherefore,
pursuant to Part 6, Section IV, Paragraph 13.H.2.n. of the Rules of the Virginia
Supreme Court, the Third District Committee, Section I, of the Virginia State
Bar hereby serves upon the Respondent a Public Reprimand, the alternate sanction
provided in the Private Reprimand with Terms issued on May 6, 2002.

Pursuant
to Part Six, Section IV, Paragraph 13.B.8.c.(1) of the Rules of the Virginia
Supreme Court, the Clerk of the Disciplinary System shall assess costs.
